Obama: Just A Petty Politician

How petty can you get?  From the Washington Examiner:
President Barack Obama nominated two new members to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority board -- one to replace former chairman Charles Snelling, who committed suicide in March, and one to replace Bob Brown, who has remained a vocal member of the board even though his term expired in November 2011, the White House said....
A U.S. Department of Transportation spokesman said the administration is not replacing Bush appointee William Cobey, whose term has also expired, because of a rule that requires Obama, a Democrat, to appoint a Republican as the federal representative on the board.  http://washingtonexaminer.com/obama-names-2-to-troubled-airports-board/article/2508056#.UFT6MK48VXs
Obama says he wants to work with the Republicans but this jackass cannot even nominate a Republican to an airport board?
But, maybe Obama has seen the polls and the future and he is going to wait for President Romney to make the appointment.
